second verse, aka: page 2
you: I'm back
you: all the while I was thinking of you though
me: oh you were?
you: but of course
you: I saw you running through the Minnesota snow...
you: aren't you delighting in my attention?
me: you were saying? about me?
you: you are the bomb
me: you are a rocket!
you: you are a star shining brightly
me: and you are the sun
you: I will warm you in my glow
you: but your radiance far surpasses mine!
me: i will dance around you
me: and sing you old jazz songs
you: I would croon to you
you: singing "It Had 2 B U"
me: i would flash my eyes at you, twinkle twinkle just for you
you: I would do a back flip for you
you: (and hope I didn't break my neck!)
me: i would run thru the streets naked and not give a heck
you: I would sing your name in a crowded church
me: i would think of a good word that rhymed with church
me: and i'd use it to talk about YOU

you: I would be your bird and sit on my perch
you: never leave you in the lurch
me: Oh you are too good for me
you: for you I'd light a terch!
you: you you you
you: only you
you: can make the world seem bright
me: oh you see, there you go...
you: oh own lee you
me: i want to own you
me: and hang you on my wall

you: I would hang there counting the moments
you: until you gazed upon me
me: i would leave you flowers to smell, and the softest lights to warm you and light you
me: i would sit and stare for hours at YOU

you: I would stare right back and never blink
you: I will hasten to bed so that I can sleep and dream of you
me: i would take you down at night and tuck you in bed beside me
you: ohhhhh  if I were that close....
you: then I would climb into you
you: to become you
me: and i would erase myself from this page, so that you shone thru
you: I would make posters of all your pictures
you: and cover my walls with them
me: i'd paint your smile a thousand times
you: I'd trace the outline of your face with my eyes closed
me: i'd know your hands by memory and feel them everywhere
you: I would build a ship and christen it "ILONA"
me: i would buy all the land in the world left to be bought and reserve it for the LIONS
you: I would wander in your jungle
me: i would listen for your roar and come running
you: I would ride you on my back
me: i would nestle in your neck and listen to your heart
you: I would purr like an auto engine
me: i would be Leda and you are a Swan
you: I would cast a film with you as the lead and me as the romantic interest
me: i would paint your portrait on the Empire State Building
you: I would make you a holiday
me: no one could see out the windows, they'd just see your face, bits and pieces from every floor
you: I would pass out from trying to sing your praises
me: i would i would  i would
you: YOU YOU YOU
me: if only i could
me: nooo youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

you: you are way more important then me!
you: any day!
me: not today
me: and that's all we have
me: and today its all YOU

you: I am YOU as YOU are ME as WE are ALL TOGETHER
me: i am the Walrus
me: koo koo ka choo
me: Youuu

you: all in all is all we are
me: YOU and You and You is all i am
me: and all i want to be

you: I would be nothing without you
you: I would be a tree falling in the forest
you: with no one to hear
me: i would fade away, like music when soft voices die
you: good night sunshine
me: good morning moon
me: ma luna amoureux

you: ma coeur
me: you you you
me: you are french poems written on my skin

you: oh but more importantly...YOU!!!
me: you are are Chinese characters painted in ink on my neck
you: you are the breath in my lungs
me: you are the blood in my veins
you: you are the beat of my heart (and meat)
you: whoops
me: you make me laugh
me: you make me cry
me: you make me sing

you: you make me jump
me: for you i would die
you: you make me twitch
you: come give me some
you: don't be a byotch
me: you make me write stupid rhymes
me: you you you, there are no words written to describe you

you: you are my symbiosis
me: so now i will stop this nonsensical attempt to capture you
you: my synergy
me: to make you me
you: I already am you
you: in another place
you: with another face
me: in another car, there you are
you: in a plane with you on my brain
me: i can not capture you, i can not make you mine
me: but i am going to go meet someone now
me: who will never compare

you: I am envious
you: and feel pity at the same time
you: for that someone will never realize
you: that he has such a treasure in his presence
me: i will settle for less, less than i can afford, less than i want, than i need
me: cause he can not compare to you and your wealth

you: how sad he will just remind you of whom your missing 
me: i will look thru him and see your face
me: i am going to save this writing
you: me too!  it should be a shrine to YOU

me: and put it up for the world to see
you: indubitably
you: whatnottery
me: i will write your name in huge letters
you: I will write yours in 3d graphics
me: i will form you on a page
me: i will write the song of you
me: and everyone who reads it will die from its beauty

you: and it will be a song caught in all their heads
me: and the world will hum with the song of you
you: but the world will spin on your axis
me: you ARE the world, you are the entire UNIVERSE
me: what shall we call this piece?

you: let's call it "IN PRAISE OF YOU"
me: ODE to YOU
you: or O.D'd on YOU
you: g'night honey girl
